A sparkling performance of a Dvorak symphony that deserves much more playing time. And what a handsome concert hall. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. Best Wishes from Washington, DC!
Sitting in the doctor's surgery having my blood pressure measured, 4times over half hour. First measure was high, forgot the meds before I came. Listening to this, subsequent measures have been much better.
@@stuartwise5709 The first movement of the fourth is one of my favorites, it has a very 'Czech' sound; the secondary theme is among Dvorak's most beautiful. The third movement is energetic and driving with a joyous march of a trio section, and the finale is what got me into the piece in the first place. Hell, the second movement is great, too. It's too bad you haven't been able to get into any of them.
@@whatafreakinusername On your recommendation I will give them another listen, but you do understand it's all a matter of personal taste. For example, I happen to like Rachmaninoffs 3rd piano concerto better than the 2d and when I say that I sometimes get looks.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s the "New World" symphony was recorded by Bruno Walter for Columbia as #5. It was subsequently re-numbered as #9. I have always wondered about that discrepancy.
Dvorak published five symphonies in his lifetime, numbered 1 through 5. His early symphonies were published later, and the numbering of all the symphonies was fixed to reflect their chronological order.
The first 4 symphonies were composed during his years in school as projects for a grade. The first 4 were not performed until much later in the second half of the 20th Century when it was decided that the symphonies should be renumbered to include all. One still sees Symphony # 9 (#5) occasionally
Actually, the 5th was composed first but has a higher opus number because it was published after the 7th. Dvorak's publisher Simrock gave it the higher Opus number. The numbering is confusing but out of Dvorak's nine symphonies, numbers 5 6 7 8 and 9 were published in the order 6 7 5 8 9 and confusingly numbered as 1 2 3 4 5. Only when the four earlier unpublished symphonies were discovered after Dvorak's death was the numbering changed to the chronological 1 through 9 we currently have now.
Simrock changed a number of the opus even against Dvořak´s protests. It is on Wikipedia. I don't know whether one piece or more pieces. Dvořak wrote 5 symphonies while Brams did one symphony. or some say it took Brahms 20 years to make the first symphony. so maybe it's the reason but Dvořak and Brahms were great friends and also Dvořak with Tchaikovsky became friends. But it's possible that Brahms was a great perfectionist, Dvořak was also a perfectionist. He burned some pieces. He rewrote some pieces.
@@alaalfa8839 Some also say it took Brahms 20 years to write Beethoven's 10th LOL. Dvořak wrote 9 symphonies, as did a number of other composers. It became the "curse of the 9th symphony" where a number of notable composers died after their 9th. Popularized by Mahler who tried to avoid the curse by calling his 9th "Das Lied von der Erde" but finally published his named 9th only to die with his 10th in sketch.
@@Nyssa337 Thanks for clarifying the issue of the numbering and chronology of Dvořák's symphonies. Indeed I grew up knowing his "From the New World" symphony as No. 5.
The second movement just anticipates how great a composer he will turn out to be for andante/adagio movements: from the romantic tunes and his adept management of structure in his sixth symphony, to the brilliancy of his 8th which finally culminates in the "unfulfillable longing" of his 9th. Next to Grieg and Sibelius, my favourite composer of nationalistic romanticism.
Beautifullly-playd rustic symphony, full of sweetness and lyricism. Third symphony I got to know after the New World and Beethoven's Fifth--something of an old friend. Slava !
Fifteen seconds before starting times of each movement (2nd movement segues into 3rd): Allegro ma non troppo - 0:15 Andante con moto - 13:40 Allegro scherzando - 22:31 Allegro molto - 29:56
A great performance of one of my favourite symphonies. There are no dark shadows in Dvorak. It's all about the joy of life. Only one slight beef - I would have shortened the gap between the second and third movements so that they run as one. I never heard of this conductor, but my God he's good !!!!!
Just fabulous, marvelous-- makes me so happy to hear this work. Without music life would be a mistake. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900; German philosopher, poet, composer and classical philologist)
This is a wonderful orchestra - shame about the dreadful camera work: for example, the opening of the slow movement a glorious melody in the cellos, yet camera focussed on violas and basses who are just pizz. Why?
@@1brewski2 I honestly don’t think the 9th is overrated, overplayed yes, but not overrated. It’s a great and absolutely beautiful symphony, and it brings shivers over my back every time I hear it still. But I do think the other symphonies deserve more recognition. It’s sad to see that all those great works are overshadowed by one work that is not even necessarily better than all the others.
There is so much joy in this work. No matter how I'm feeling, this symphony always puts a smile on my face.
My favorite symphony !!!!
Děkuji pěkně;) Miluji jeho hudbu ❤

참으로 멋지고 훌륭한 연주, 아름다운 영상입니다.
고맙습니다. Thank you~!!!
Life!!!
What a genuine genius he was!!!! I cant help but think of how he got this orchestration so perfect 💝

The 5th is a kind of Dvoráks "Pastoral" and worth performing more often. Thanks for sharing this wonderful concert.
It’s a shame the earlier Dvorak symphonies haven’t crept into the concert halls as much as 7,8 and 9. They have a lot to offer.
I love the fifth but despite many listenings I really can't get into the first four
Maybe because they weren’t composed in UK/US. Anglosaxon pride
Agreed, but my favorite is the 7

Thank you for a wonderful performance. A beautiful symphony, definitely worth performing!
Lovely! I remember when No.5 was No.1.
Yes and No 9was no5
I like that they don’t just push they’re way through the music. They take they’re time. Just perfect.
"They take tHeY'rE ti"- go back to school dumbass
Excellent performance! Thank you! Costas Fotiadis
This is a wonderful performance!
No one can come up with 1st movement's melody but dvorak

The symphonies were renumbered in the 1970s when 4 early symphonies from Dvorak's 20s were rediscovered.

This symphony has opus number 76, which means it’s actually composed after symphony 7 opus 70.

agreed with these comments
Dvorak symphonies 4 .5 6 should be played more often
Love in the last movement how the previous agitated striving resolves itself into that beautiful ethereal passage at 39.22.
Que maravilla dvorak
DĚKUJI! neskuteeeečná pokora před takovým výkonem

Listen to Dvorak's symphony 6 (modelled heavily after Brahms' 2nd).
Always pair the 5th and 6th. Never been able to makeup my mind which I like more. Both old friends.
Well played. Thanks.

Very nice indeed!
Pretty, pretty, cool thing. Especially the last movement!
The last movement go back to the first movement's main theme, so nice

Dvorak's most sunny symphony, shame the video lags behind the sound by a fraction, for me makes it unwatchable. Happy to listen, though.
Beautiful performance. Is this out on cd?

Simplesmente, Maravilhoso ! Sem dúvida uma das mais fantásticas obras que já escutei ❤️❤️❤️!
Fantástico !👏👏👏
Condivido confermo anch'io con lei
Dvoraks most underrated symphony!
Whole bunch of underrated ones and one hugely overrated and overplayed one.

@@suitablepancake7162 to some critics his finest symphony is the seventh eclipsing even his ninth symphony .... It is my favorite one
第4楽章の、燃えるな、演奏、エクセレント!
30:12 začátek čtvrtý věty v cellech.. Proč??...
Vy jste nikdy neudělal chybu?

but totaly clear
Skvěle zahrané. Jedno velké ale: z obrazového snímání jsem velmi zklamán. Evidentní neznalost dechových nástrojů!

A wonderful piece of music. But I never saw bevor such an uninspired conductor. In Germany we call it: he´s cutting the air
